Subject:tranny, ball joints, stabilizer bushings

Early this morning I received an email from Al Brase that told me that I in fact had an 091/1 tranny.  I checked
the numbers and yep, it is indeed an 091/1.  So, I opened it up and drained out about a half quart of MT90
(enough to get it down to about 15mm below the fill hole).  Thanks Al.

This afternoon, we put the tranny back in and I drove it 300 miles.  Quiet and smooth.  Just what the doctor
ordered.

Now I want to tackle the upper ball joints and stabilizer bushings.  What am I in for?

"'And now, sir,' continued the doctor, 'since I now know there's such a fellow in my district, you may count
I'll have an eye upon you day and night.  I'm not a doctor only; I'm a magistrate; and if I catch a breath of
complaint against you, if it's only for a piece of incivility like tonight's, I'll take effectual means to have you
hunted down and hanged like the dog you are.  Now let that suffice.'"
